Describing a Place

3

Manchester Manchester is a major city in the UK. It’s one of the biggest cities and

it has more than 2 million people living there. There are some beautiful

green valleys, pure cold rivers and a waterfall.

In winter, it gets so cold that you can’t feel your finger tips and toes.

The temperature drops low to -25o degrees. It snows a lot and it rarely

rains. It becomes very dry. In summer, it gets a little bit warmer and it

rains sometimes. Somedays, it may get a little bit sunny and windy. The

temperature reaches 21o degrees mostly.

In summer, you can go camping in the valleys and mountains. For

those who like dangerous activities you can go white water rafting on

the waterfall. Also, you can go skydiving too. In the city, you can shop

till you drop! There are some lovely souvenirs for friends and family. If

you are a nature lover, you can go to the country side to see the

mountains, but be careful! There’s a dangerous cliff. Moreover, you

can visit the adorable green forest and have a barbeque.

Manchester is the perfect holiday destination for friends and families.

It won’t cost you a lot, due to its reasonable prices. But I don’t

recommend you to visit it during winter, because it’s so cold and it’s a

7 hours fly from Bahrain.

Life has two sides, one is bright and the other is dark. So, you have to get on with life's

changes. In addition, you should take every available chance in life to enjoy your time

and achieve your dreams. Moreover, it is very important to believe in yourself and trust

your abilities. You have to learn how to enjoy life and how to get over difficulties and

sad moments to continue living happily. At the end, you have to show the world how

powerful you are.

Post title: Film review - Harry Potter Date: 6/11/2016

I just saw Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and I loved it. The film is a sequel to

the “Harry Potter” franchise. This part is about the Chamber of Secrets. The production

was amazing, from the outstanding special effects to the perfect camera work. The cast

couldn’t have been any better. Their performance was spectacular and that contributed

in making the film the master piece that it is. To finish my review on Harry Potter and the

Chamber of Secrets, it’s an amazing movie, definitely a must watch.

Post title: Product Review- Pantene Pro- V Color Therapy Date: 5/11/2016

I have natural brown hair but I love to change its color, and knowing that my hair will be

exposed to chemicals from dyes, I never forget to use products for my newly colored

hair. With Pantene pro-v color therapy, I was able to dye my hair without being scared

that it would become dull and dry. Other shampoos leave my hair discolored after a few

washes, but Pantene pro-v color therapy leaves my hair looking stunning and it keeps

the color in for a long time. Pantene conditioner moisturizes and conditions my hair

perfectly, preventing dryness, split ends and breakage. It is the best choice for women!

Post title: Friendship Advice Date: 4/11/2016

Show appreciation. You should respect your friends’ opinions by listening to them and

accepting their differences. Build trust. By showing each other that you can be

trustworthy. Have fun together. By doing what you love and enjoying you time together,

telling secrets and laughing. Support each other, hand by hand, you should be on each

other’s side during hard times to show some support. Never leave your friend in need.

At the end, enjoy your life together because it is short to be spent alone.

Post title: The Worst Birthday I have ever had. Date: 3/11/2016

Yesterday was my 19th birthday, I was not excited because I had three quizzes. I had

spent the night before studying. Besides, I woke up really late and I missed my ride. So,

I had to walk all the way to school and the weather was really sunny. When I came home

after school, no one remembered my birthday. I tried to drop hints to my parents, but

they were really busy. Therefore, I stayed in my room praying for a surprise. What is even

worse was that my mother called me at 10pm shouting and screaming, asking me to

leave the house because our house was on fire! I ran really fast and fell down hard which

broke my leg. Well! This was the worst birthday ever.
